Our Personal Injury Services

We represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Car Accidents

In Texas, car accidents occur almost every minute, often resulting in serious injuries. Whether it’s a rear-end collision, a T-bone crash, or a multi-car pileup, Clark Law Group will work tirelessly to investigate the accident, gather evidence, and build a strong case to prove fault. We fight for fair compensation to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and any long-term impact on your life. Insurance companies will attempt to minimize your claim, but our attorneys will stand up to them and negotiate for the full compensation you deserve.

Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries — such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and severe burns — can have life-altering consequences. These injuries often require long-term medical care and may permanently impact your ability to work or enjoy life. Clark Law Group understands the devastating effects of catastrophic injuries and will fight for substantial compensation to cover medical treatments, rehabilitation, lost earning potential, and pain and suffering. Our attorneys work with medical professionals and life-care planners to ensure your future needs are fully addressed in your claim.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face unique risks on the road. Without the protection of a vehicle around them, riders often sustain severe injuries in crashes caused by negligent drivers who fail to see them. At Clark Law Group, we understand the complexities of motorcycle accident cases, including bias from insurance companies who may try to blame the rider. We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident, hold the at-fault party accountable, and work to secure the maximum compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and bike damage.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. Trucking companies and their insurers are aggressive in defending against claims because of the high-dollar policies involved. Clark Law Group has extensive experience handling complex truck accident cases. We know how to investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and other critical evidence to build a strong case. Our attorneys will fight to ensure you receive compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery needs.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists are vulnerable on the road, often sharing space with larger vehicles that may not always respect their right of way. Whether it’s a dooring incident, a collision caused by a distracted driver, or a hit-and-run, bicycle accidents can result in serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and more. Clark Law Group is committed to protecting the rights of cyclists. We will thoroughly investigate your accident and pursue compensation for your medical treatment, lost wages, and other damages.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are at high risk of severe injury when struck by vehicles, even at low speeds. In many cases, distracted or reckless driving is to blame. If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, Clark Law Group will work diligently to establish liability and hold the responsible driver accountable. We understand the serious nature of pedestrian injuries, which often result in significant medical expenses, lengthy recovery periods, and emotional trauma. We will fight to get you the compensation you need to recover fully.

Boat Accidents

Whether it’s on lakes, rivers, or other waterways, boating accidents can lead to significant injuries or even death. These accidents often involve inexperienced operators, alcohol use, or poorly maintained vessels. Clark Law Group has experience handling complex boat accident cases and understands the unique laws governing maritime accidents. We will work to ensure that those responsible for your injuries are held accountable, whether it’s the boat operator, a rental company, or another party. You deserve compensation for your medical costs, lost income, and other damages.

Types of Compensation in Texas Personal Injury Cases

When you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, Texas law allows you to pursue various types of compensation, also known as damages. At Clark Law Group, we will work to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve for all the losses you’ve suffered. In Texas personal injury cases, compensation generally falls into three categories: economic damages, non-economic damages, and in some cases, punitive damages.

Economic Damages

These are quantifiable financial losses that result from your injury. They cover the tangible costs associated with your recovery and other direct financial impacts, including:

• Medical Expenses: This includes all medical-related costs, such as hospital bills, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, and any future medical care related to your injury. If your injury requires ongoing treatment, we will work with experts to estimate future medical expenses to ensure your compensation reflects your long-term needs.
• Lost Wages: If your injury prevents you from working, either temporarily or permanently, you can recover compensation for your lost income. This includes wages lost during your recovery as well as loss of future earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work in the future.
• Property Damage: If your personal property was damaged in the incident, such as your car in a car accident or a motorcycle in a crash, you can recover the costs for repairs or replacement.
• Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Other costs you’ve incurred because of the injury, such as transportation to medical appointments, hiring help around the house, or any other expenses directly tied to the injury, may also be included in your compensation.

Non-Economic Damages

These are intangible losses that are harder to quantify but are equally important in ensuring you receive full compensation for the impact the injury has had on your life. Non-economic damages include:

• Pain and Suffering: This compensates you for the physical pain and discomfort you’ve experienced as a result of your injury. The more severe and long-lasting the injury, the higher the potential compensation for pain and suffering.
• Emotional Distress: Serious injuries can lead to significant emotional trauma, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD. You can seek compensation for the psychological impact the injury has had on your mental health and well-being.
• Loss of Consortium: If your injury has negatively affected your relationship with your spouse or family members, they may be able to recover compensation for the loss of companionship, affection, or intimacy.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injuries prevent you from participating in activities or hobbies you once enjoyed, you may be entitled to compensation for this loss.

Punitive Damages

In rare cases, Texas law allows injured victims to recover punitive damages. These damages are not meant to compensate you for your losses but rather to punish the defendant for especially reckless, malicious, or intentional behavior. Courts may award punitive damages in cases where the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious, such as in drunk driving accidents or incidents involving gross negligence.

However, it’s important to note that punitive damages are not guaranteed in every case and are typically awarded only when the court seeks to send a strong message to the defendant and others who might engage in similar behavior.

Claims Limited by Damage Caps

Unlike some states, Texas does not place a cap on economic or non-economic damages in most personal injury cases. However, there are exceptions, including:

• Medical Malpractice Cases: Non-economic damages are capped at $250,000 per defendant.
• Cases Against the Government: Claims against government entities have strict limitations on the amount you can recover.
• Punitive Damages: Texas law limits the amount of punitive damages to either $200,000 or twice the amount of economic damages, whichever is greater.

Personal injury claims that do not meet any of the above criteria are not subject to caps, which means the plaintiff can pursue any amount of damages he or she wants.
